Summary
- Carly Waddell and attorney Todd Allen Tressler called off their 2-year engagement last month

- Waddell previously divorced from Evan Bass in 2020 and was dating Tressler since 2023
Last month, Carly Waddell, a former reality TV star, announced that she had called off her 2-year engagement to attorney Todd Allen Tressler. Waddell, who rose to fame on the Bachelor franchise, had been dating Tressler since 2023, marking her first relationship since her divorce from Evan Bass in 2020.
Waddell and Bass, who share two children, had met and married on Bachelor in Paradise in 2017. However, their marriage ended in 2020. As Waddell and Bass established a co-parenting routine, the singer contemplated dating again, hoping to meet a "wonderful man" who would "wow" her.
In mid-2023, Waddell connected with Tressler, an attorney, after spotting him on a local news interview. The two began dating, and Tressler eventually proposed to Waddell on a trip to Costa Rica. However, their engagement was short-lived, as Waddell announced on October 1, 2025, that she had called it off about a month prior. Waddell expressed feeling "at peace" with her decision, noting that "dating after divorce and dating with kids is super difficult."
